How about we just define Bangkok and one big cluster, with varied degree of infection?

Or more specifically one big cluster <deleted>!

Takes a few minutes to get LINE on a smart phone. 

 

Alternately, download Morpromt from the Thai App / play store. 

 

Two options. 

Great if you can read Thai. Is there an english version?

So how does one register - web address anyone?

Forget these smart cars - what they really need is smart cops.

Who are these "angered and dismayed" expats - is there a list, or is this another example of journalistic invention? The only likely ones upset would be the legions of bar stool jockeys who would spend more than this in half an hours boozing in any case!

I'm STUNNED there's nobody in here yet to say, "it's only 2,000, what's the big deal??"

It's only 2,000, what's the big deal??

Lock up your daughters! The fleets in! Massive infux of totty from all over the country expected! Let the good times roll!

It seems to me that the the pictured field hospital is somewhat lacking in many areas, and I can understand the reluctance of some to spend two weeks in such a facility. However, if the authorities would consider a few improvements, this reluctance could be overcome. With the addition of night stands, cable tv, air conditioning, mini bar, reading lamp, and en-suite bathrooms for each bed conditions could be signicantly improved. Until this happens I will continue to live on the steps of my local 7-11 should I get infected.

There is no grace period or amnesty at this time and I don't expect there to be any.

You have 7 day after the report date that includes that day to do the report.

If early enough (15 days or more or slightly less) you can also do it by mail.

 

There must be many of us who have used the on-line 90 day reporting system for many years.  I really cannot understand the motive for the Immigration Beureau not repairing the system for at least two months, especially considering the risks it now  imposes on reporters travelling across the city to do this in person. Yes, I know this can be done by mail, and I have resorted to this method this time. Hopefully at some time in the future I will receive my confirmation that this has gone through. As a systems analysist and programmer in a previous life I am well aware that a twelve year old could get the system up and running again with a few key strokes. Can anyone explain why  this has not been done, and what are the motives for abandoning this system?

Because the minimum insurance is 40,000 for out patient visits and 400,000 for inpatient. The cost of insurance will exceed this indemnity for people over 70 with pre-existing conditions. I would prefer to self insure. If I got a hospital bill for 5 million I could cope with it....and having insurance would be of almost no help at all,.

Self insurance is not an option for OA visa extension. Thats why they call it mandatory.

lock it down.  one month.  better safe than sorry.  i don't mean close all the businesses, just ban inter-provincial travel and keep the hot spots from spreading.  

That horse has already left the stable. So irresponsible to allow interprovincial travel at Songkran which has doomed the country to a major outbreak which it is largely ignoring. With Bangkok as the epicenter, the city should have been locked down and placed under curfew.

There seems to be little or no concern regarding the large rise in cases in Bangkok. All the progress achieved by previous lockdowns has been wasted, and the capital is now on the verge of large scale infection. Why the change in direction? The current level of infection warrants immediate closure of all pubs, bars, entertainment areas etc. Interprovincial travel should be reintroduced and all Songkran activities banned. Why is Thailand not learning from the mistakes made by Europe and the USA?

Good luck fitting that name on the back of his shirt!

Truely rich foreigners are not interested in living or investing in third world countries with military governments and corrupt police and public officials.
